Naija News reports that this development marks a new chapter in the governance of traditional institutions in the state, as the council will now rotate leadership among the Obas.
The announcement was made by Governor Seyi Makinde at a brief ceremony held at the House of Chiefs, Agodi, Ibadan.
The event, which was attended by various traditional rulers and dignitaries, marked a new chapter in the history of the Oyo State Council of Obas.
According to Governor Makinde, the chairmanship of the council will be rotational among the trio of Olubadan, Alaafin of Oyo, and Soun of Ogbomoso-land, with each leader serving a term of two years.
This decision, the Governor emphasized, is aimed at promoting unity and cooperation among the traditional institutions in the state. The rotational system, he noted, will provide an opportunity for each of the prominent traditional rulers to contribute to the development of the state.
Meanwhile, the absence of the Alaafin of Oyo, Oba Akeem Owoade, at the event has raised eyebrows.
The appointment of Olubadan Ladoja as the new Chairman of the Oyo State Council of Obas has been welcomed by many as a positive step towards strengthening the traditional institutions in the state.
As a seasoned leader and a respected traditional ruler, Olubadan Ladoja is expected to bring his vast experience and expertise to the table to drive development in the state.
Dignitaries in attendance include the Deputy Governor of Oyo State, Barrister Adebayo Lawal; the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Honorable Segun Ogunwuyi; and the Secretary to the State Government, Professor Musibau Babatunde.
Also present were prominent traditional rulers across the state, including the Olubadan of Ibadanland, His Imperial Majesty Oba Rashidi Ladoja; the Soun of Ogbomosoland, Oba Ghandi Olaoye; the Okere of Saki; the Olugbon of Ile-Igbon; the Eleruwa of Eruwa, Oba Adebayo Akande; and the Ekerin Olubadan of Ibadan, among others.
However, the move has been met with strong opposition from the Oyo Forum, Abuja, a group of influential Oyo indigenes, who have voiced concerns over the proposed amendment to the Oyo State Council of Obas and Chiefs Law. The Forum, in a statement jointly signed by its Chairman, Engineer Segun Owolabi, and Media/Publicity Chairman, Ambassador Tunde Mustapha, warned that the introduction of a rotational chairmanship could undermine the cultural and historical significance of the Alaafin stool.
The Forum called on Governor Makinde to withhold assent to the bill currently before him, following its passage by the Oyo State House of Assembly.
The Oyo Forum’s statement highlighted that the Alaafin stool is not merely a local political office, but one with a historical legacy that dates back to pre-colonial times, representing the spiritual and ancestral leadership of the Yoruba people. According to the Forum, reducing the position to a rotating office could be seen as disrespecting a legacy that holds deep cultural value for the entire Yoruba ethnic group.

Activities across offices of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) are expected to come to a halt from Monday, January 19, 2026, following the declaration of an indefinite strike by workers.....TAP TO CONTINUE READING
The industrial action was announced by the Joint Union Action Congress (JUAC), which directed workers across all cadres to withdraw their services until further notice.
The strike affects all FCTA secretariats, departments, agencies, area councils, and parastatals operating within the Federal Capital Territory. Workers were instructed not to report to their duty posts as the unions insist that their demands have been ignored for too long.
In a notice circulated to members, JUAC explained that the decision to commence the strike followed the expiration of a seven-day ultimatum earlier issued to FCTA management.
According to the unions, the ultimatum elapsed without any concrete response or engagement from the authorities.
The unions listed several unresolved issues that led to the strike. These include the non-payment of outstanding wage awards and unpaid promotion arrears owed to workers across various departments.
They also raised concerns over delayed promotion exercises and the continued retention of retired directors and permanent secretaries beyond their statutory tenure.
JUAC further accused the authorities of failing to remit pension deductions and National Housing Fund (NHF) contributions deducted from workers’ salaries. The unions described this as a serious violation of workers’ rights and a threat to their future welfare.
Other grievances highlighted include poor working conditions in many offices, alleged intimidation of staff, and what the unions described as persistent neglect of workers’ welfare and career progression.
The unions also expressed dissatisfaction over the outcome of the 2024 promotion examinations.
According to JUAC, about 77.5 per cent of candidates failed the exercise, a situation they described as unacceptable and demoralising for the workforce.
In the notice, JUAC directed all workers to fully comply with the strike directive and remain at home until their demands are addressed by the authorities. The document was electronically signed by the JUAC Secretary.
As of the time of filing this report, the management of the Federal Capital Territory Administration had not issued any official statement in response to the strike action.
